Emma
Emma has had numerous iterations with more to come I’m sure but this version is well done and worthy of watching at least once.
Dark Waters
Ruffalo once again portrays an intelligent, investigative character and, as usual, does a terrific job.
The Invisible Man
Whannell (Saw) does a wonderful job bringing this classic tale into modern times with the use of updated technology.
Sonic The Hedgehog
The movie pays homage to the game that will have fans reminiscing about their childhoods while offers enough pop culture and modern technological touches to entice younger generations.
Swamp Thing
Reed makes a great Abby as she is caring and sensitive but can be hard as nails if the moment calls for it.
